It's a Cub!

Sukari, our 13 year old lioness, gave birth to a cub on August 30 at 2:30 am. Zoo staff will not know the cub's gender for approximately three weeks because we give the new mother and cub a wide berth, respecting their privacy to encourage their bond. However, we are observing the cub and are monitoring its care via a remote camera installed in Sukari's den. The cub's father, twelve-year-old Jahari, is the only adult male in the San Francisco Zoo's lion pride (group of lions). The new cub will make four lions in our African Lion pride. Eighteen-year-old lioness Amanzi will assume the role of "aunt" to the infant, bonding and grooming the new cub when Sukari is ready to share her parenting duties. 

Whenever you eat at one of the Zoo's cafes, shop in the Wildlife Connection Gift Shop or host your child's birthday here at the Zoo, you are working with Service Systems Associates (SSA), the Zoo's vendor of choice for many years. We are proud to announce that SSA recently became a member of RSPO, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. RSPO is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative to promote the production and use of sustainable palm oil for people and our planet. According to Rainforest Rescue, the demand for palm oil has become very pervasive and is destroying the rainforests. Approximately 50% of the goods used everyday, from processed foods to candles, contain palm oil. Learn more here (https://t.e2ma.net/click/wt9og/o330mu/kc47dc).

The afternoon will feature activity and information booths, a special Science Saturday Talk by Jessie Bushell, the Zoo’s Director of Conservation, and the release of native Western pond turtles into the lake. The young turtles were collected and hatched by Sonoma State University, reared at the Zoo, and will now be making their home at Mountain Lake in the Presidio of San Francisco.
